| Fujitsu Unveils 200GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. has announced the MHV2200BT, a 200GB 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive (HDD), as part of a coordinated global launch. Fujitsu developed the MHV2200BT to address growing demands for mobile hard disk drives with the performance and capacity required for external HDD products as well as high-end audio/video computing applications such as gaming, video editing, audio recording and DVR functionality. The world's first 200GB capacity mobile hard disk drive, the product will begin shipping in 3CQ06. Within the rapidly expanding IT and consumer electronics industries, the need for hard disk drives featuring increasingly higher capacities continues to boom. Major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are already shipping products featuring the 160GB 2.5" SATA hard disk drive that Fujitsu launched in August 2005. The latest offering from Fujitsu builds on nearly five years of SATA development on the 2.5" platform to provide best-in-class low power consumption, unmatched capacity at 200GB, high shock tolerance, and quiet operation. These features come together to allow manufactures to create high-end notebooks that rival the power and performance of their desktop counterparts. The MHV2200BT also features a hardware accelerator that maximizes Native Command Queuing (NCQ) performance, an important feature that enables the hard disk drive controller to intelligently and simultaneously queue and reorder up to 32 instructions, resulting in a significant improvement in overall hard disk drive performance. Features: - Capacity: 200GB - Rotational Speed: 4200 RPM - Interface: SATA II Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0a and Electrical Spec. 1.0, ATA-7 - Native Command Queuing - DIPM and HIPM Fully Supported - Staggered Spin Up & Active LED Supported - Hot Plug - Best in Class Read / Write Power Consumption: 1.6W typ. - Idle Power Consumption: 0.5W typ. - Track to Track Seek Time: 1.5ms typ. - Host Transfer rate: 150MB/s max. - Operating Shock: 300G (2ms) In addition, the Fujitsu MHV2200BT hard disk drive is RoHS compliant. RoHS is the European Union's directive for eliminating certain hazardous materials in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
